And mine!  (I have a theory that these three preferences are genetically
linked.  Do you like rollercoasters also?)

But seriously, I am interested in implementing Forth on a small
(possibly home-built) microcomputer for experimenting with some
real-time control applications and purely as a programming exercise.
Without getting too involved in the ongoing discussion of the merits of
various implementations and standards for Forth, I would like some
information on the "most standard" standards to be used as a base system
and some common extensions used for this type of application.  I would
especially be interested in documents (e.g. the '83 standard) available
in archives via anonymous ftp.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
